Heavy Duty - Dual Gate

When the opener works, it works well and is quiet. Within six months, one motor arm broke. After paying for return shipping, the arm was replaced under warranty. Now one year after installation, the control board malfunctioned and has to be replaced. Warranty will cover replacement, but it will take at least three months to ship. For the price, this is very poor quality. When it breaks down after warranty coverage expires, I will change for a different brand.

This MM572W dual gate opener is my 3rd Mighty Mule in 15 years, so I hoped to get 5 years out of this, but after less than a year, I'm going to get a Ghost or other gate opener. To start with, you have to drill eight holes in the back of the circuit board controller to screw it to the battery box. If you're not careful, you can damage parts and you end up with lots of plastic debris on the board that has to be blown off. I've never liked their charger cord. It requires that you hard wire red and black low voltage wires to the plug-in and the low voltage wire is sold separately! Luckily, I had some on hand, but why can't they have the plug already wired and ready to connect - after all, the cost is almost $800.00 for the unit. Plus, there's no place under the control box to run the wires, so you have to drill your own. I wired in the gate lock (FM143) and had to get tech help as the illustration in the manual is different than the actual board. I had to make a jumper wire, as well as drilling another hole in the control box to feed the connecting wires through. After several months, the gate opened on it's own, and our two small dogs got out onto a busy street! We got them back in and I installed YoLink sensor to see if the gate opens when no one is looking. The sensor showed it opened and closed several times a day! I then installed a manual latch on the gate and called tech support who gave me the run-around that my gate arm hinge might be too tight - but it is very flexible and has nothing to do with the gate opening on its own. To top it off, we were driving our new pickup through the gate and it closed too quickly and scratched the side of the bed because the stall force didn't allow it to open back up. I'm done with these guys. Buyer beware - look elsewhere for your gate opener.

I've only had this gate opener installed for a few weeks now, so I'm slightly hesitant to give it 5 stars based on my previous experience with my other brand gate opener. However, as of now, it's been nothing but excellent. If anything changes, I'll update my review.I had a different brand gate opener installed that past year (zumi) and it worked well for about 1 week, than gave me nothing but trouble (one or both actuators wouldn't move, it was a complete piece of garbage). I looked around for something that would possibly work with my old brackets so I wouldn't have to re-drill into my concrete block wall.My gates consist of two sections, 6' per gate with a thin steel frame, wooden slats, and some decorative metal bars/windows and handles. They are pretty lightweight, so this system can easily handle them. Adjusting the open/close location was much easier on this than the last gate as well so that's a plus. It seems to have room for many expanded options (sensors, keypads etc.), but I really am only concerned with the remote and possible Wi-Fi settings due to having a small front yard and not needing all the extra options.I utilized the same brackets from my previous gate install, but otherwise had everything else wired up and installed with Mighty Mule's equipment. The far side actuator wiring is plenty long enough to reach the control panel, but the close side actuator's wiring is relatively short. This wouldn't be a problem if you mount the panel close to the gate like most installations show, but I have mine mounted inside a small archway that has an access door next to my gate about 6' further from the gates. I just cut the additional length of my far side actuator wiring, soldered it on the end of the near side actuator wiring end, and connected to the control panel with the perfect amount of wire length left on both actuators. The operation of the gate is very smooth and responsive. I've had zero issues opening or closing this gate. This installation is hooked up with the supplied battery, then plugged into an AC outlet with the AC to DC plug provided in the kit. I had a gate lock installed with my last gate https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08736KRFF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 and it hooked up perfectly fine to this control board and works flawlessly.I've yet to try the wireless adapter I purchase alongside this gate, but the remote that came with this kit has worked well enough for me for now.One thing that is extremely nit-picky that I'm not too fond of is that the remote has 3 buttons. It seems like a standard garage door opener that is a little bigger than it needs to be, and having three buttons for a gate opener that only needs one slightly bothers me (since two buttons will always be useless). Maybe there are some people that would program these other buttons to other gates, or they might be able to programmed to the garage door, but I'd rather have a single button opener that takes up less real estate on my trucks visor. Obviously, this is a very minor concern and who knows, if it works with my garage door maybe I'd come to like it.

Good unit, if you are handy it installs well. Programming the codes and the gate open/close limits was a bit complex, but well described in the manual. I suggest adding a second battery as does the mfg. feels quality made, not cheap parts. I put the app, 3 extra key fobs, a remote Wi-Fi keypad, and Wi-Fi booster, on my setup, not able to add the solar panel accessory, too much shade. Instead I had to run a new electrical line which was worth having a outlet 300 ft down driveway. So far 1 month remotes and app work great. Only glitch was app shows the gate was open when it was closed, fix was from 1 call to tech support fixed it with opening up the controller and moving 1dip switch which fixed the app. Highly recommend.Well made gate controller. Tech, and product support is on videos, web, and by phone to answer questions.

The remote works sometimes and sometimes not. Get the smartphone option.

Straight forward replacement install here. Upgraded electronics compatible with older units and solar panels.Bit of a struggle pairing to smart phones, customer service snarky concerning online purchase. (we've bought 3 units direct over the years for multiple gates). Smart phone problems eventually resolved successfully after phone guy finished sulking.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON MIGHTY MULE!! I originally installed a mighty mule double gate opener at my farm in 2015. it lasted 14 months before it began to malfunction. After many, many visits from an electrical engineer to fix it, I replaced the system in 2019 with another Mighty Mule product. It began to malfunction after 18 months. Again, after many repairs by an electrical engineer, in completely died in August 2023. In September 2023, I bought another Mighty Mule opener system (MM572W 70 series Dual automatic opener) on Amazon and it completely failed in June 2024. the engineer concluded the board went bad, The support at Mighty Mule has been rude, condescending and of no help. They refused to honor their warranty with this last purchase. If you buy their products, expect poor quality and poor and rude technical support interactions.

I replaced an older model (7-wire arm) with this newer MM572W wifi unit (4-wire arm).First some GOOD about the "new" unit:1) Has wifi "gate open/closed/paused" status. Really wonderful feature (finally)! I can tell if the gate state without looking. Unfortunately, it requires a hub/bridge within wifi (although their server has been down a few days now).2) Only uses 4 wires (vs 7) to control arms (smaller cable, cleaner wire landings).3) Both WiFi and keyfob radios use standard RF connectors so you can now (with optional RF cables) locate the antennas for better range/coverage (higher and away from concrete/metal pillars/walls).Now some BAD about the new unit:1) New unit primary arm has 6' cable (old 7-wire primary arm had 9' cable). So get ready to splice some of that 44' secondary arm cable onto the primary arm. Most driveways are less than 20' wide, so why the secondary cable is 38' longer than the primary cable is puzzling.2) The "soft" open/close is gone on the new model, so now the gate stops with a reverberating bounce. I really liked the soft open/close.3) The battery is now stacked in an enclosed cavity BEHIND the control panel/wiring panel. To change the battery, remove the cover (4 screws), then remove 8 screws and let the control panel/wiring hang down while replacing the battery. Old design just had a single cover exposed everything (but was wider/taller because everything was laid-out instead of stacked).4) The "auto-close" feature remains unprogrammable. It should be configurable by time/day over wifi (ex: stay open days, auto-close nights). Hopefully the wifi experience will improve over time.This is my 3rd (2 replacements) residential MightyMule in 20 years. They work, but they take some patience.

arrived broken, but all is good, we were refunded. Thank you

Used this for a dual 8 foot swinging gates, Weighting 100lbs each and gate openers will not function with any slight winds at all. Was very disappointed with this product.Does not work good at all when temperatures are -5c says that will work-15 not a chance if I could return this for a refund but didn’t get them installed until after refund window in time. I definitely do not recommend this product at all.

My first lasted at least five years. This one is an improvement in terms of speed and precision. It was not quite the straight swap I had hoped but it worked in the end.

Easy to install as a replacement for a 15 year old Mighty Mule unit. Works well. Would prefer if the time to open and close was a bit faster but definitely better than the old unit. Great support every time I've called in.

I've fitted three of these now and am completely satisfied. The oldest has been running without a problem for 6 years now. They are strong and of good quality. Installation instructions are excellent - no Google translate nonsense there! I've worked on other brands and I'm sure this is the best.
